Not very specific to ansible development this one, but is anyone else getting the following when the attempt to push from WSL (also known as Bash on Windows).

`  
git push --all --dry-run  
ssh: connect to host https port 22: Resource temporarily unavailable  
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights  
and the repository exists.

`

I can push from an ubuntu VM on the same machine but about half the time I can’t push from WSL over the last couple of weeks

Has anyone else hit this and found a way to get it working again?

Jon

Have you asked the WSL devs? [https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows](https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows) . Can you check using strace where the failure occurs?

Cheers,

Good suggestion, I will raise on their project if it happens again.

Problem seems to have gone away again at the moment though. I think it is something to do with dns resolution, possibly for ipv6.
